Tomatillo and Cilantro Chicken Enchiladas

I am not a fan of enchiladas. There, I got that out of the way.

So, it's not something I make very often, something about a bad experience when I was pregnant and got really sick and then hated Enchiladas for the rest of the my life, which is really stupid since it's not the Enchiladas fault if I had morning sickness. LOL

But anyway, I don't really much care for them, but once in a while I'll be browsing the food blogs online and something will catch my eye, like these Chicken Enchiladas and I think what caught my eye was the cilantro cause I'm a nut for cilantro.

Care's Kitchen is a blog I just recently started following but boy does she have good stuff, check it out when you have a chance.

Now onto the enchiladas which have broken down the wall of fear I had built for so long....these are SO good. The Sauce is from Care's Kitchen, the rest of the method is adapted from the same post since it's pretty much just a how to on putting these together.

Combine the tomatillos, jalapeños, cilantro, garlic, and water in a blender

and purée until well blended.

Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.

When the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté until the onion is limp and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatillo mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Add the shredded chicken to the sauce and stir to coat. Allow to cook for 3 more minutes. Check the seasoning and adjust if needed.

METHOD:

I used a whole chicken, cooked it up and set aside the broth for other recipes. I then let it cool down a bit and shredded it. I think I used about half of the chicken for these enchiladas.

Added the chicken to the sauce as specified above.

Then took out a tortilla, filled it with the Tomatillo and Cilantro Chicken mixture, rolled it up and placed it in a greased baking pan.
